As a young Indian we have an opportunity to shape the country's future. What are the biggest things we are going to do?

I see India becoming an increasingly important world power. There are a number of things young Indians are doing right now that make me think they will have an opportunity to shape the country's (and the world's) future, but none more so than the desire to learn, become educated to a high level, and to work their way up to the top.

Now this is just the viewpoint of a foreigner who has had limited chances to gauge the attitude, aspirations and achievements of young people in India - but it seems to me like there is a prevalent move towards education, and I think the effort that young Indians are putting into their education today, is going to make for a brighter and better country tomorrow.

I work in the technology sector, and while colleagues in the US command high salaries, often under perform and struggle to remain motivated, I often encounter young Indians who are eager to take on opportunities, often for less financial reward, and still remain super motivated at completing the task to the best of their ability.

And growing up, while kids around me in  high school seemed spoiled and slightly self-centered, many young Indians are putting a lot of effort into their education and studying for exams like there is no tomorrow, because they see this as a means of self-improvement.

I think it is this attitude an ethos that will help India's young people boost the country, and push the standard of living higher.

I realize this is a generalization, and perhaps is too broad - not everyone is as I described - but it's an observation of what I've seen so far!
